I mean… come on ! I’ve waited all year to read I mean… come on ! I’ve waited all year to read all my cosy cute gory thrillers (that’s totally a thing) and here I am itching to continue my re-read of throne of glass for the third time.  I always say being a mood reader is the best but times like these really make me think and just want to hide in a whole.  #autumntbr #autumnlover #throneofglass #readerproblems
Let’s talk about Alchemised by SenLinYu and WHY Let’s talk about Alchemised by SenLinYu and WHY I DNF’d it …  Grab a napkin as I’m about to spill the tea.  I shouldn’t have to say this but this is my opinion and isn’t an attack on those that loved it. I’m happy for you but for me it was just not a vibe.  Alchemised was a highly anticipated read of mine and if we all loved the same books and thought the same the world would be a boring place - booktok would be just as dull as Alchemised šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚  #alchemised #dnf #BookTok #didnotfinish #readersofbooktok

Channeling my inner Miranda Priestley from ā€˜The Channeling my inner Miranda Priestley from ā€˜The Devil Wears Prada’ šŸ‘   Here’s a lil peek at what I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a little while now …  Bookmarkedbychris’ very first physical Reading Journal.  I’ve printed off a mock up and begun making notes on things I want to change, add/remove and tweak slightly.  This is still very much in the draft stage so excuse the basic look (it won’t look anything like this once I’m finished…)  I’ll update you all on the launch date and further reveals but what I can reveal at the moment is …  ā­ļø Hardcover front & Back
ā­ļø expect challenges, trackers, wrap up, book reviews & more 
ā­ļø Completely handmade 
ā­ļø Luxurious feel 
ā­ļø 200+ pages  ——  Behind the scenes :  I thought it might be nice to explain the process a little while I have you.  So it’s not just designing the pages and then printing & binding, I’m doing extensive research into the thickness/quality of paper I want to use along with the binding wire- I’m looking for the best of the best 🤭  I want the pages inside to be thicker than the average notebook so that it minimises any bleed through if using coloured pens but not too thick they feel chunky.  I’ll be looking at having some dividers inside and these will be designed and made in house then there’s the journal stickers !! I’m working on journalling stickers to go with the journal  ā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļølet me know if you’re excited to learn moreā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļø

🩸Be Right Back🩸 [AD/ BOOK TOUR] It’s fin 🩸Be Right Back🩸  [AD/ BOOK TOUR]  It’s finally time for my spot on the tour - a huge thankyou to @billreadslol @scholastic_uk & @instabooktours for having me !  ā€˜Be Right Back’ is the highly anticipated sequel to the stab-tastic ā€˜Let’s Split Up’ - an addictive YA horror that fans of Scream & Scooby Doo have gone feral for (I know I have)  The sequel follows the characters and the events a year after book one so without saying too much about it I will say if you loved the first this one will have you hooked!  My thoughts-  As with all sequels in the horror world, there’s always the worry as a fan that it won’t hold up to the first, and that sometimes the creator (whether it writer, director etc) will go for shock factor over quality. 
However, Bill has wonderfully wove the characters into a new dilemma whilst still maintaining the charm that was ā€˜Let’s Split Up’. Packed with pop culture references and throwbacks, this is a definite nostalgia kick whilst still feeling fresh and honestly so much fun.  For me personally, it was a tad predictable but in such a fun way (sorry Bill, but it’s rare a horror gets me, I’m just one of those that guesses the twist) but that being said it definitely didn’t impact my enjoyment and I will urge you all to go in with an open mind as I won’t be saying anymore other than… GO PICK THIS UP!  I love the characters and how they continue to develop. Their friendship is goals (minus all the trauma)  Publishing 9th October 
Spredge will be available in @theworksstores  ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø.75  BLURB IN COMMENTS

I sometimes need a kick up the butt to get myself I sometimes need a kick up the butt to get myself out and about.  I need to remember I’m self employed not CHAINED TO MY DESK.

Follow along for a lil snippet of my morning. 
It was the perfect temperature for a little stroll and to sit outside with a nice Caffe Latte.  —-  I’m so glad I got myself out and about this morning. I managed to get some ideas down on paper & some progress made on my current listen.  For those curious. I’m listening to ROSE IN CHAINS by Julie Soto.  šŸ“– What’s your current read ?

šŸ’‹ happy October 3rd to those who celebrate ! šŸ’‹ happy October 3rd to those who celebrate !  Today is such a special day to me, it’s the day when my crush Aaron, you know THE Aaron Samuels asked me (MEEEE OMG) what day it was.  I kept my cool of course. I looked up casually wafting my hair and letting the Impulse classic scent waft over as I replied ā€œIt’s October Thirdā€
Today’s to do list… I have to say, today has Today’s to do list…  I have to say, today has definitely felt like a Monday.

Thankfully I can now call it a day and continue reading my book!  ā€¼ļø new designs have been put on the website  #bookish #booklover #bookworm #readerlife #readersofinstagram #todolist #readergifts #cutestationery #cutenotebook #bookishbiz

Making them in house means I can make small batches meaning I can offer way more designs as I can make them to order and constantly refresh the designs or even customise them to the customers preference ( within reason of course 🤭 )  Not just that I can offer more customisable options without having to stock multiples - I just need the supplies which I have šŸ‘€  So when choosing your a5 notebook to get to choose …  ✨ paper type - choose from plain, lined, to do list or book review

šŸSeptember wrap-up… I’ve surprised myself šŸSeptember wrap-up…  I’ve surprised myself at how much I’ve read this month considering I feel like I’ve had a month packed with plans but 8 books read and 1 DNF is definitely a good reading month.  Whilst some I loved more than others it definitely shows how the mood affects the enjoyment of a book.  Let’s start with the DNF of the month, ā€˜A Cinnamon Falls Mystery’ started off well for me, I was loving the vibes and the mystery but all of a sudden I’ve lost all interest and I’m bored. A huge Thankyou to the publisher for sending this one my way. I may try pick it up again in the future.  You can probably tell I was embracing the autumn reads this month šŸ‘€  Our book club pick of the month was Cinnamon Bun Book Store and I really enjoyed that, just an easy cute read but it’s more summer based sadly- very deceiving cover  Arcana Academy was the book club pick for The Hidden Stacks (my members only section) and this was honestly a vibe and a half! I adore the characters and magic system. That ending… ugh! Need more asap.  ā€˜Be Right Back’ was an absolute delight and I can’t wait to post my review on October 6th. Thankyou to the publisher for sending this my way.  Favourite read of September …  Arcana Academy for sure. I can’t stop thinking about it 🤭  ā“ what was your favourite read of September ?
